All Missouri Takes it Up.

ST.. Louis, July 1.-THE interest in the
presidents western visit has increased and
spread out over the state since the letter
withdrawing his acceptance of the invitation
to visit ST. Louis and the city has determined
to bring a strong influence to bear on him;
and number of letters have been received
by Mayor Frances from citizens in various
parts of the state urging another appeal.
Accordingly, with the idea or OBJ
tanning more general expression
of opinion, the mayor has issued an address
to the people of Missouri and in it has re-
quested every county in the state to appoint
one Or more representatives to join the st.
Louis committee and accompany them to
Washinston to bear the invitation, and the
delegation will, therefore, not be city dele
cation alone but ha,o committee Mite rep p
Missouri, all working to one end,
to have the president of the United States
honor the people of this state by visiting it's
chief city this fall. The mayor received,
this forenoon, from Charleston, Mo-, petit
ton of 1,2OO voters of Mississippi county,
joining in the invitation. The committee
starts from here Monday and will reach
Washington about the time the president re-
turns from New York.

An Undignified squabble.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 11.-Last spring
Surgeon General John Hamilton, of the
Marine hospital service, preferred charges
to the medical association against DR.. Sow
ers, of unprofessional conduct in criticizing
from medical point the living of the presi-
dent DR.. Sewers has now preferred
charges against DR.. Hamilton of having vio-
lated the associations regulations in having
shown to ex-Representative Hazleton the
charges which he was about to prefer against
him CDR. Sowers). This was done, it is
charged, with the full knowledge that
Hazleton and his family were patients of
DR.. Sewers and was intended to lower him
in the estimation of his patients. The case
of Sewers has not been formally disposed of,
but the result of the investigation is equiva-
alent to acquittal. It requires two-thirds to
convict, and unless this number favor con
viction it is not deemed necessary to make
report to the associations. Two thirds did
not vote guilty. A minority and majority
report was made and there rests the matter.

VIII IGNORE SECTION rour

Receiver McNulta, of the Wabash Eastern.
PROPOSES New Construction Of the Law.
CHICAGO, July 9.-Receiver McNulta. Of
the Wabash Eastern. railway, has decided to
ignore section of the interstate commerce
law in so far as it applies to traffic over his
lines from Peoria or Chicago to the east, to
compete for through traffic from Peoria to
the east. His road being circuitious route
is compelled to make the same rate
or less than is made by other competing
lines. The Peoria rate as now established,
General McNulta says, is low enough, and
he takes the same position as regards the
decided to take through business from
Peoria at ITO per cent. of the Chicago rate
and at the same time continue to charge 11O
per cent. from Jacksonville and correspond
ingly from intermediate stations, thus max
ing the rate for the long haul from Peoria 10
per cent. less than for the shorter one from
Jacksonville. He takes the same position
as regards east bound traffic from Chicago
over his line, circuitous route via
claims that he cannot afford
to reduce intermediate rates this side of Be
ment. He, therefore, will compete for the
east bound through traffic from Chicago at
regular traffic rates, but will charge higher
rates from local intermediate stations in ac-
cordance with the agreed per centaRe basis,
thus making the rate from Bement, for in
stance, 80 per cent. higher than the rate
from Chicago. General McNulta claims that
according to his construction of the law
he can do this, although it may
look like a clear violation thereof. He does
not believe that the law contemplated the
ruination of weaker lines, which the strict
enforcement of it would surely bring about.
The Wabash, he says, is so situated that it
would either have to go out of through traffic
from Peoria, or Chicago east, or make enor-
mously low rates from intermediate stations,
which it can not afford to do. He therefore
proposes to construct the law to meet the
exigencies of his road and take his chances
of being brought before the commission or
the court for violating it.

Indignation and Riot.

'CHATTANuGA, TENN, July civilian Hol-
man was to have been executed yesterday at
Dalton, Ga, for the murder of Matilda Hol-

have been public. On learning of the ac-
ton of Governor Gordon, they resolved
themselves into a mob and captured the
town. The mob hanged Governor Gordon

cution of Holman. The mob got away with
lot of bad whisky and the latest reports

Powderly VIII Resign.

New YORK, July 8.-Powderly's reported
announcement that he will resign his Office
of Grand Master Workman of the Knights
expires, has familiar sound to the Knights.
John Morrison, Master Norman of the
carpet workers who were expelled, said yes
terday: "One of the first things I heard
when I came into the order was that he
would resign, and he has been resigning at
every critical juncture SINCE"
John Swinton said: GAS long as can re-
member, Powderly has been resigning. The
trouble is, the job is too big for him." Swim
ton thought somewhat that s. M. Wheat, of
Iowa, was good man for Powderly's shoes,
but there seems to be some technical objec-
tions to him. He has not been elected a
delegate to the general assembly heretofore.

Bogus Concerns Working Under the Guise
of Emigrant Aid Societies.
New YORK, July 8.-Ata meeting of the
emigrant commissioners to-day Commits
sioner Stevenson produced German paper
published in Ohio and called attention to an
advertisement in it of the American Emil
grant company, No. 80 State street, New
York, P. O. box lao, R. e. Jansen, agent.
The advertisement solicited deposit and
offered all kinds of financial business. The
commissioner said his attention had been
called to the case of an emigrant who had
deposited 800 with the company and who,
part in cash and the rest in Missouri bonds.
The commissioner called at the Office of the
company and when he asked for the presi-
dent, man by the name of Farmer pre-
sented himself. He afterwards said he was
not the president but only the manager.
This man said that up to December
last the institution was known as tho
american Emigrant company" at Hart
ford. At that time Bartholomew, who had
charge of its business, skipped out with the
assets and the concern was bought by j. @.
Savery and James Callahan. Mr.. Slavery
told the commissioner that the
company had charter but diligent search
failed to disclose one. Mr.. Slavery admitted
that their present liabilities were $50, 600
and the only security depositors had for
their money was the personal security of
Mr.. j. G. Sayery. This sort of thing, the
commissioner said, had been going on for
years and he asked that the board rescind
permission to enter Castle Garden on the
plea Of helping emigrants of all persons ex-
cept agents of railroads and steamers. Com
missioner Stephens also spoke of another
similar institution managed by o. R. st.
John, at 211 State street. in which depositors
had no security.
